'&' Ampersand Character Splits into Multiple Values #111

Closed nbdb closed 1 year ago

nbdb commented 5 years ago

When I originally select an option that contains an '&' it looks ok:

Capture1

But upon selecting save, it breaks at the '&': Capture2

We'd prefer to be able to keep the name as stored in our CRM software to help our internal reporting and billing. Thanks!

Hi!, please let me know if you till having the same issue

This is corrected! It does look like the search is now case-sensitive though. I’d personally prefer if it wasn’t – I could open a new request for this if you’d like.

Thanks!

Still, the same issue persists when the backfield used is 'Text (multi-line field)'. When the backfield is 'Text (single line)' it works fine.

So, the ampersand '&' character splits into multiple values when the backfield is a multi-line field. We need to use this field type as a single line exceeds the number of characters that can be used, so when using 'Select All', it does not work.
